I don't have my books in this classroom but I believe it is 8.01 (b) that describes the mechanics of the set position. However, it lists no penalty for coming to the rubber set.
Traditionally, and as illustrated on Evan's pitching regulations video, this is treated as a "don't do that."
Nowhere in 8.05 is this discussed other than 8.05 (e) which discusses the possibility of setting up a quick pitch, which, if so ruled by the umpire, is a balk.
